Adding nil checks on the exit paths for semCompiles errors. This was probably not needed before, because semIndirectOp had a special detection for semCompiles contexts. We could try to restore these, but wouldn't this just postpone the crashes until someone tries the same expressions in nimrod check? One of the previous commits also used errorNode to avoid returning nil. This may be an alaternative approach. |

Nimrod Compiler
This repo contains the Nimrod compiler, Nimrod's stdlib, tools and documentation.
Compiling
Compiling the Nimrod compiler is quite straightforward. Because the Nimrod compiler itself is written in the Nimrod programming language the C source of an older version of the compiler are needed to bootstrap the latest version. The C sources are however included with this repository under the build directory.
Pre-compiled snapshots of the compiler are also available on Nimbuild. Your platform however may not currently be built for.
The compiler currently supports the following platform and architecture combinations:
- Windows (Windows XP or greater) - x86 and x86_64
- Linux (most, if not all, distributions) - x86, x86_64, ppc64 and armv6l
- Mac OS X 10.04 or higher - x86, x86_64 and ppc64
In reality a lot more are supported, however they are not tested regularly.
To build from source you will need:
- gcc 3.x or later recommended. Other alternatives which may work are: clang, Visual C++, Intel's C++ compiler
- git or wget
If you are on a fairly modern *nix system, the following steps should work:
$ git clone git://github.com/Araq/Nimrod.git
$ cd Nimrod
$ git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/nimrod-code/csources
$ cd csources && ./build.sh
$ cd ..
$ bin/nimrod c koch
$ ./koch boot -d:release
koch install [dir] may then be used to install Nimrod, or you
can simply add it to your PATH.
The above steps can be performed on Windows in a similar fashion, the
build.bat and build64.bat (for x86_64 systems) are provided to be used
instead of build.sh.
Getting help
A forum is available if you have any questions, and you can also get help in the IRC channel on Freenode in #nimrod.
License
The compiler and the standard library is licensed under the MIT license, except for some modules where the documentation suggests otherwise. This means that you can use any license for your own programs developed with Nimrod, allowing you to create commercial applications.
